Beyond Wine: Terroir in Spirits

The concept extends to French spirits: - Cognac: Only from delimited zones around the town of Cognac - Armagnac: Different soils and climate create a more rustic style - Calvados: Apples from specific Norman orchards - Génépi: Alpine herbs gathered at particular elevations

Even French mineral waters claim terroir—Evian from Alpine glaciers, Badoit naturally sparkling from granite soils.
